Support the showYou probably have some ideas about the differences between introverts and extroverts when it comes to socializing. We tend to believe that being an introvert or an extrovert falls on a continuum rather than fully on one end or the other. Today we talk about one instance where we have found similarities and differences between us. Join today’s conversation between one introvert and one extrovert.

Support the showThe term “Amp Wheel” came from one of our first podcast episodes. We were talking about being on the Amp Wheel and someone asked what is the Amp Wheel and how do you get off of it? We decided to explain what we mean by the Amp Wheel and have a conversation about how it affects us when we’re on it.
The best way to describe the Amp Wheel and how it feels is to tell you to imagine a hamster spinning on a wheel. It’s clear to those watching the hamster that it is expending a lot of energy, but it’s not going anywhere. Is the hamster wheel a cruel torture device or a mechanism for giving the animal some exercise? It doesn’t really matter in this case. The point is the hamster is putting in a lot of effort and not getting anywhere.
